Loctite 242 Threadlocker, 50 mL — BOLTON SKU 50149.
About the Loctite 242 Threadlocker 50 mL
Loctite 242 is a single-component anaerobic threadlocking adhesive: it stays liquid while in contact with air and cures to a hard thermoset inside the confined, metal-to-metal space of an assembled thread. The cured resin fills the clearance between male and female threads, so the joint is locked against vibration loosening and sealed against ingress of moisture and fluids along the thread path. It is the medium-strength, blue-coloured grade — the classification used across the threadlocker range for products intended to be disassembled later with ordinary hand tools rather than requiring heat or destructive removal. This listing covers Loctite 242 Threadlocker industrial adhesive in the 50 mL bottle, a workshop and maintenance-trolley size rather than a production-line container. Cure behaviour depends on substrate, temperature and the gap in the joint, and inactive surfaces such as stainless steel or some platings may need an activator; the current technical and safety data sheets are supplied with the quotation.

Typical applications
Medium-strength threadlocker is the usual choice for fasteners that must hold against vibration but be serviced again later: machinery covers and guards, motor, fan and pump mounting bolts, adjuster and set screws, panel and bracket fixings, and vehicle or generator maintenance work. A 50 mL bottle suits point-of-use application at an assembly bench or on a maintenance round rather than bulk production dispensing.
